Hi all , I found this link when looking into DW300 turbine pumps and fuel pump rewires .

http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-engine-turbo-drivetrain/590352-fuel-pump-wire-high-low-voltage-circuit.html

The aim I believe was to avoid "over running the std FPR" when using high volume fuel pumps .

I found it before starting work this morning and have only gotten a couple of pages in . The thread may be of interest to those with an advanced understanding of volts n amps a so forth .

Enjoy , A .

Meh.

The Solid state relay will lose you 1V so you are dropping the total voltage supplied to the pump by that amount. I want to get more voltage to my pump, not less... 16-18V would be good. :)

Are you over running the stock FPR yet?

Not that I know of but I'm running std GTS25T wiring and an R33 GTR pump , have set the pump voltage change at about 1300 revs .
Would have looked into the reg business but had a train to work . Do the Nismo ones flow more or are they just adjustable ?

This is a link off the above Evom thread that goes into overrunning the standard FPR .

http://highboostforum.com/forum/showthread.php/28719-TESTED-Stock-Evo-8-9-FPR-Capabilities?

Fuel systems get deeper and deeper . Not sure if there is an easy answer to regs if you don't like glitzy looking aftermarket ones .

I was wondering a while back what would happen if you ran a second OE style FPR in the line before the rail and spliced it into the standard return . In theory both would close up as manifold pressure rose but have double the flow arera of the std single one . Also in theory not all the supply runs through the warm rail .

That aside looked at Britax large spade 80a relays today and need to find a supply of non insulated 9.5mm terminals and insulators for them .

A .

I wouldn't use two regs. If I wanted to achieve the regulator goals you talk about without running the risk of dead-heading the fuel rail with hot/vapourised fuel, I'd simply replace the standard reg at the outlet end of the rail with a small orifice that will pass fuel 100% of the time and place the big aftermarket reg wherever it needs to go before the rail (so that could be in the engine bay or it could be immediately after the pump.

In this way you will always circulate fuel through the rail and back to the tank, but the vast majority of it will never go there.

The problem with two separate regulators doing the same job in parallel is that they will never have the same setpoint. They will always be slightly different. So when the pressure rises to the setpoint of the lower set reg it will open and allow fuel to spill and the other reg will stay shut. If the flow area of the lower reg is insufficient then the pressure will rise above its setpoint and the higher set reg will start to open. This means there will always be some fluff in the fuel pressure setpoint. It will go up and down. If the regs are really close to each other then this won't be a problem. But there is a chance that the difference will be big enough to cause some issues. A permanent very small bleed solves the problem without bringing any real problems of its own.

I searched the SX ones and they claim to have better diaphragm material to suit alternative fuels like ethanol . I didn't see any pics of them in Skyline engine bays , do you have any of yours Scotty ?

Really the way forward looks like doing the top feed conversion to EV14s then the reg and pump and sort the pumps wiring .

Scott would you go with Xspurt shorty 740s / XS reg / DW300 pump in a GTS25T ? I doubt I would see more than 340 or so wasps at the wheels just to give you a number .

I stumbled on these insulated bulkhead power terminal bolts to get higher current reliably into your fuel tank .

I searched long and hard for this kind of thing a few nights back without success .

They look good, but couldn't the fuel leak through the actual thread? Unless the nylic nut seals it off? I am going to machine up something similar, but solid so there are no chance of leaks. Well take some pics when done, hopefully tomorrow.

I think the white nylon spacers with the O rings top and bottom may be threaded though anyone's guess how neat a fit they are on that bolt . I suppose a very light smear of a suitable sealant may stop tank pressure feeding up through the threads .

For an R33 you don't need it to be insulated because the tank lid and ring aren't metallic . A modified brass or stainless bolt could probably be made to work with a dowty seal . Jamb nut to clamp it up and some means of fitting an eye fitting to the head .

I've been looking into Britax relays - R4-1280R is an 80a on/off with 9.5mm terminals and 6.3mm coil spades . They have a resistor in them to protect computer circuitry whatever that means .

They doing a mount base with brass non insulated terminals as well Pn 99025 .

Means the low load circuit would have a built in resistor to protect the ECU from any surges.

I don't see the advantage of this relay to your standard 60a horn relay though? 60a is thoroughly overkill, and I use a 30a inline fuse. So 80a is unnecessary. The posts sound like they are a similar size too.

Just a little overkill and hopefully reliability . I think I know a way to parallel the std high low system using the original relay and FPCM to trigger a heavier duty system . From what I can tell the only thing stopping us from rewiring the std system is the current carrying ability of that FPCM which is a glorified protective (for ECU) switch .<br /><br />From what I gather R33 GTRs have the twin FPCM/resistors in a single assembly and they are famous for overheating and failing . The GTS25T has the single FPCM in the same place but the resistor (heat) is near the std jack .<br /><br />A .

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
